Sommario/riassunto |
|
Binge eating disorder (BED) is the most common eating disorder among men and women. This book centers on binge eating, which consists of episodes of uncontrollable overeating, followed by compensatory behavior (i.e., purging, fasting, heavy exercising). People who suffer from this disease often try to hide their binge-eating episodes from others, and often feel ashamed or depressed about their overeating. Many factors may contribute to binge-eating, such as dissociation, which may undermine an individual's body image, and impulsivity. This book focuses on such factors as well as the frequency with which such behaviors occur in multi-ethnic populations, and the differences in frequency rates as a function of gender and identity. The differences in binge eating and bulimia nervosa behaviors are also explained, as well as the theory that binging on some palatable foods, such as sugar, can result in addictive-like behavior. The association between emotional abuse in childhood and future binge eating episodes are explained as well as the prevalence of BE episodes in overweight or obese children or adolescents. The effectiveness of certain treatments for binge-eating are described, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational enhancement therapy (MET) and combined treatment. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is one of the most widely read novels of all time. Its two central characters, the scientist Victor Frankenstein and the being he creates, have gained mythic status in their own right. Engaging with the novel's characterization is crucial to gaining a real understanding of its themes and contexts, including education, gender difference, imperialism, personal identity, revolutionary politics, and science. This study includes: an introductory overview of the novel, including a brief account of its historical and literary contexts; its reception history; discussion of the major themes and narrative structure; detailed analysis of, the representation of main characters, such as Walton, Frankenstein, and the creature; and a conclusion reminding students of the links between the characters and the key themes and issues. |
